Posted by Marsha | August 20, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Identity Theft

Identity theft and credit card fraud

In December, 2018, I became a victim of identity theft and credit card fraud. I hired Catherine Fleming when my financial institution refused to forgive the charges in the amount of $37,500 in credit card fraud. She advised me with her legal expertise and assistance regarding filing a claim with my ...financial institution. This included: filing an identity theft report with the FTC, placing a freeze on my credit with the three credit bureaus, a police report, a complaint to the Washington State Attorney General's Office, and an analysis of illegal activity on my computer where a virus was found. During this time Catherine kept me apprised on the progress of my case. She was honest, supportive, empathetic and showed genuine concern for me. When she presented all of the documentation and evidence for my case to my financial institution, they changed their decision and settled in my favor. Catherine never gave up on my case. She has been an enormous blessing to me. I highly recommend her services.
